9 Place to Shop for Wide Calf Boots

Life as a plus size woman with wide calves can be tricky, especially when it comes to shopping for Wide Calf Boots. All that you know is that you have wide calves and boots tend not to fit. Well, no worries! Hopefully this little guide will help you out!

What I have done is round up a few places that you can shop for your fabulously full calves that still give you FASHION along with my wishlist of 9 faves.

9 Place to Shop for Wide Calf Boots

I just wrote about this Boot Brand- especially for over the knee options. DUO Boots delivers wide calf boots up to a 50 cm (roughly 19.6 inches) and shoes sizes up to a 12/ UK 43! The site is stuffed with trends, tips, and fashions with free shipping over $250!

Available in size 6-12, Evans offers a classic silhouette and arrangement of wide calf boots up to around 19 inches with some bigger and smaller than that. Their newly launched range is definitely worth checking out.

Newly launched wide calf selection offers all boots at either $59 or $39 (if you are a member!) starting at a size 16″ shaft, there are quite a few fashionable options that will NOT hurt the wallet! You must check them out.

I don’t know the last time you checked out Lane Bryant and their shoe selection but they have boots up to a 19 inch shaft and size 11 or 12s and a few pair of cute over the knee options as well as some ankle booties worth checking out.

One of my favorites Nordstrom now includes wide calf and wide width shoe offerings and with a decent range too! Most of my faves are from here! Up to a sizes 13 in various brands and various fits, fashion forward options are available to whet your appetite.

I went over to the site and was surprised of the options, especially since WideWidths go up to a size 13ww and offer boots up to a calf size of 20”and higher in selected sizes! Classic and fashion forward options here!

Wide Calf Boot Boot Shopping Tips:

Know that the standard for most boots is about a 15” so if you are looking for boots, use this as your guide!

Measure your calf at its widest point- And measure both calves too! If the difference is more than half an inch, go up an inch!

If you want to be able to wear your jeans tucked in, take this into account when shopping!

Measure from your heel to height desired to determine how high you want them to go!

Quality is key. The worst thing to do is hunt down a pair of boots only for them to fall apart after one season! I suggest that you invest in them, since you will more than likely be rocking them all season long and beyond! I have boots from five years ago! I love them and live for them!

Are you petite, plus size, and have wide calves? WideWidths.com breaks this down quite nicely!

Okay, so I hope this helps you out! A great place to start while shopping and options to whet your fashion appetite?!?

Great post. FYI – Duo does offer free shipping to the US, no minimum. And shipping with them is super fast. But be prepared to get hit with a customs invoice bill from DHL a few days after your boots arrive, for 10% of the value of your boots. I had to return the boots I ordered from them, they didn’t fit right in the ankles, but the boots were great quality.

I have several pair from Lane Bryant. The over the knee ones are fabulous and I get so many compliments on them. They also have a couple of pair of cowboy boots with a zipper up the back which comes in handy for tucking in your pant legs! I am very happy with the boots from Lane Bryant!

Turned out to be perfectly what I was looking for, I like quality leather and don’t mind it being higher end because I was so frustrated in not finding good quality wide calf boots for my 18 inch calves. Love it!

I’m struggling to find knee high boots. I’ve tried amazon ebay and jd williams. I’m a size uk 3 / 36 my calves are 43cm but I’m also short 4’10 with narrow feet. So nothing fits right. The ones from amazon said calf width 17″ but I could only get the zip up half way. I ordered some size 4 EEEEE Curvy from jd williams they have lots of calf widths and it drowned my foot. Any ideas desperate for some boots. Thanks in advance

Hi! Did you check out widewidths.com (linked above)? I am short as well – but they have a great explanation as well as tips to buying the right size boot for those of us who are on the short side! Since we are shorter – the widest part of our calf is slightly below what would be the widest part of the calf of someone taller or average height. Check them out! I too have tried Amazon and the boots are always too tight or don’t zip 🙁

Omg! Thank you for this! I have never owned a pair of boots (aside from ankle boots) because I can’t find any that fit! Wide widths explains it perfectly for petite women like me (I’m 4’11”) who have a larger calf size (mine measure 16″). Apparently the largest portion of the calf is different for petite women – slightly lower than someone taller. Totally life changing information! thank you so much – I look forward to owning one or two nice pairs of boots in the near future!

This is fantastic. I have felt left out of this trend forever, and I’ve been looking for wide calf boots all over. A lot of times stores label boots wide-calf, when they mean just slightly wider, and that’s not enough. : ) Thanks so much for compiling this list!

Hello I’m in search of sexy boots with heels that are knee high! I searched the whole internet and I can’t find any, you see the thing with my build it that not only do I have extra wide calves but I also have thick ankles. If any one knows anyone who specializes in making them custom pls let me know !!!! Thank you…

Did you see the other post with 25 places to shop wide calf boots? You can find what you are looking for in so many places, also, do you know your calf size? Most wide calf boots do account for fuller ankles as well!

I am happy to have found this post, and was excitedly hopeful when checking out the Simply Be page. Using their measurement guide, I am a size 9EE with a 22″ calf circumference. What a bummer I was not able to find anything on their page. I’ve checked out the others as well, and very few have calves that go over 19″, especially for a size 9 foot. WideWidths.com seemed to have some, but the prices are exhorbitant for my budget availability. Some brands might as well be asking for the customer’s first-born… trust me, you really don’t want mine. I know, I raised him.

I am a plus sized, very curvy, lady with lipedema and lymphedema. From the waist down, my body is at least 2 sizes larger than waist-up, and with the lipo-lymphedema combination, starting at my ankles and going all the way to my waist, my legs, hips, and rear-end just balloon out.

I am also beginning some job-hunting. Thus, I am looking for outfits for those important interviews. I found a sweater dress I like, and was hoping to rock it with some leggings and boots. The problem is finding the boots.

I know I’m several years late but THANK YOU SO MUCH for this article!! I want over-the-knee boots so badly since they’re the hot thing this season and haven’t been able to find anything that will fit me if I want to wear them over pants… Going to Torrid to try out their boots this week!

Looking companies that that indicate ankle circumference for boot or ankle boots and looking for wide and extra wide ankle circumference. It would save them and me time and money to find what I need. I am Positive many women find themselves in this predicament we do not all have fine ankles and when weight is added and swelling it’s a big problem. And not just in fancy boots, we need everyday boots and working boots Us fine Ladies are not all in leisures-lol.
